Hello Everyone,

I was wondering what is your take on smoking weed? Weed alleviates my headaches, knee pain and back pain (two of which I've been experiencing for the past few days) When I smoke I don't get the munchies, it just relaxes me. I function completely normal, I am completely coherent. It's been almost a month since my surgery. I am not addicted to weed, I can go months without it, I have a torn ACL that's been bothering as well as headaches. I thinking of taking maybe 2 hits of the weed- ?

Edibles gives me munchies and smoking does not.

No carbs, no calories, no need for inhaling burning vegetable matter...no problem in my book.

I picked up some THC Patches for a friend with breast cancer going through chemo...it was the only thing that allowed her to eat and sleep.

But I have yet to find any topical s which helps my GF's knee pain. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. (She just had an MRI on the knee and there is no more cartilage there, so she is going to get a participial knee replacement.)

I'm a huge fan of Ethos Muscle Melt (http://ethosinnovates.com/topicals.html).

It's made from bud, not trim, and it's strong enough to help with my knee pain. Over a year ago, I tore my PCL severely. I was on crutches for weeks, and to this day I can't straighten or completely bend my right knee. My orthopedist says the only treatment is exercise- -I need to increase blood flow. However, I'm in tremendous pain whenever I do exercise with any impact. I used to be a runner, but likely will never run again.

Muscle Melt keeps the pain at bay enough so I can exercise.

I also really like Winterlife's Asian Elephant's Orange Tincture. Unlike the muscle cream, it does cause a high, but mostly it relieves pain or nausea and puts me to sleep. If I'm in a great deal of pain, I take a tablespoon or so sublingually, and within half an hour I'm relaxed and ready for bed.

I've been doing weed since three days post op. I was able to use it for pain management and was able to stop my narcotic pain meds that same day.

My only suggestion is don't smoke it, its bad for your lungs and slows healing and can cause ulcers. I bought Water bottles that had the TCH in them. Now that I'm 3 weeks post op I'm just eating these tiny edibles called kushy punch. Great for bariatric stoners

How do you go about getting those things?

You need a medical marijuana card, then you can sign up with a delivery service or you can go to a club. I have a family member who owns a delivery service and they won't come out unless you purchase $60 or more.
